When A Breakup Gets Messy

Ian Barnes and his girlfriend Sarah Haley are heading back to Ohio University after a brief trip home before exams and homecoming, only to be run off the road by Sarah's vicious ex-boyfriend Daniel Smythe.

Hunted through the woods by Daniel and two of his Pi Iota Gamma brothers, Ian and Sarah find there are worse things in the Ohio woods than murderous frat boys--the pint-sized monsters known as the Melon Heads!


Melon Heads by Matthew W. Quinn is one frightening situation after another. Daniel is a violent psycho, hell bent on ruining the couple's road trip. His plans for Sarah and Ian had me sick to my stomach. I was more concerned with the psycho ex than the Melon Heads.

While this works perfectly as a stand-alone short story, the concept of the Melon Heads would make a great mini-series or even a full-length novel. This is also the kind of story which would make a great SyFy movie.

As always,
